Some of us arrested at the Mayors Conference are currently fighting criminal charges. We need all the people who can to provide us with statements concerning your recollections of the events leading up the arrests. The more details the better. Specific points we need verified by witnesses are as follows:

*LACK OF WARNINGS BY POLICE TO THE CROWD AS A WHOLE.
*LACK OF WARNINGS GIVEN TO THOSE ARRESTED.
*ACTS OF POLICE PROVOCATION SUCH AS SIESURE OF FLAGS
*SPECIFIC MOVMENTS OF THE TWO MALE PROTESTORS WHO WERE ARRESTED TOGETHER
AND DRAGGED ACROSS LANGDON STREET. THESE PROTESTORS WERE NOT ORIGINALLY
NEAR EACH OTHER UNTILL THE EVENT DIRECTLY INVOLVING THEIR ARREST. THE PROTESTOR
IN THE WHITE SHIRT AND BROWN HAT CAME TO THE SCENE ONLY AFTER THE SECOUND
PROTESTOR WAS ALLREADY BEING ARRESTED.
